ng update @angular/core fails

OS: win32 x64
Angular: 5.2.10
... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... http, language-service, platform-browser

Package                      Version
------------------------------------------------------
@angular-devkit/architect    0.6.0
@angular-devkit/core         0.6.0
@angular-devkit/schematics   0.6.0
@angular/cli                 6.0.0

rxjs                         5.5.10
typescript                   2.6.2

Repro steps

• Follow steps at https://update.angular.io/
• ng update @angular/core

Observed behavior

Package "@angular/compiler-cli" has an incompatible peer dependency to "typescript" (requires ">=2.7.2 <2.8", would install "2.6.2")
Invalid range: ">=4.3.0"

Desired behavior

I would expect this to work properly.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

I tried to manually update the compiler-cli and run the update function again and got this:

$ ng update @angular/core
Invalid range: ">=4.3.0"

[markgoho-EDT]

Temporary workaround seems to be skipping the ng update @angular/cli step and instead runing ng update alone first. This seems to update the core (including CLI) but doesn't touch the angular-cli.json file. Then, upon running ng update @angular/cli it does that upgrade process.

@markgoho-EDT, the ng update itself doesn't do anything else as showing the packages that have to be updated:

ng update
    We analyzed your package.json, there are some packages to update:

      Name                               Version                  Command to update
     --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      @angular/core                      5.0.5 -> 6.0.0           ng update @angular/core
      @angular/material                  5.2.0 -> 6.0.0           ng update @angular/material
      rxjs                               5.5.2 -> 6.1.0           ng update rxjs


    There might be additional packages that are outdated.
    Or run ng update --all to try to update all at the same time.

Doing ng update --all isn't doing its job either:

ng update --all
                  Package "karma-jasmine-html-reporter" has a missing peer dependency of "jasmine" @ "^3.0.0".
                  Package "@angular/compiler-cli" has an incompatible peer dependency to "typescript" (requires ">=2.7.2 <2.8", would install "2.8.3")
                  Package "@auth0/angular-jwt" has an incompatible peer dependency to "@angular/common" (requires "^4.4.6||^5.0.0", would install "6.0.0")
                  Package "ng2-pdf-viewer" has a missing peer dependency of "pdfjs-dist" @ "2.0.489".
Invalid range: ">=6.0.0-rc.0"

I updated the cli first with ng update @angular/cli. Running ng update @angular/core after that gives me the error Invalid range: ">=4.3.0||>5.0.0".

[lordgreg]

So, the Invalid range: ... doesn't say much. It could at least state from which package.json (aka from which node module this is coming from)

I tried to run ng update @angular/core after updating the cli and my terminal shows this:

[[24;154R

Invalid range: ">=2.3.0 <3.0.0||>=4.0.0"

[Theo59]

Same here. I tried to different versions of Typescript (2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8) and i get different "Invalid range" error each time:
Invalid range: ">=5.0.0"
Invalid range: ">=2.3.1 <3.0.0||>=4.0.0"
Invalid range: ">=4.3.0||>5.0.0"

[gnujeremie]

It's always such a pain in the a** to update node packages, ffs.

Same : Invalid range: ">=2.3.1 <3.0.0||>=4.0.0"

[IterationCorp]

same for me, just did
npm install @angular/compiler@6.0.0
npm install @angular/compiler-cli@6.0.0
...
for all @angular/... package and it was ok

[lordgreg]

@IterationCorp - this doesn't update your configuration files then, which means your karma, tslint and angular config won't get updated at all.

[kublaios]

Same here,

$ ng update --all
                  Package "angular2-moment" has an incompatible peer dependency to "@angular/core" (requires ">=2.0.0 <6.0.0", would install "6.0.0")
                  Package "countup.js-angular2" has an incompatible peer dependency to "ts-node" (requires "~3.2.0", would install "6.0.2").
                  Package "bootstrap" has a missing peer dependency of "popper.js" @ "^1.14.3".
                  Package "ng2-dnd" has an incompatible peer dependency to "@angular/core" (requires "^4.0.0 || ^5.0.0", would install "6.0.0")
Invalid range: ">=4.0.1||>5.0.0||<=6.0.0"

[elvisbegovic]

try ng update --all --force but even ng update seems still in beta step or out of scope

[MarkStega]

Same: Invalid range: ">=5.0.0"

[PierreRoudaut]

Same here: Invalid range ">2.4.2"

[frohrka]

I had the same issue. Upgraded my angular packages manually yarn add @angular/$PACKAGE, run ng update @angular/core again.

[tolvaly]

Workaround:

1. Update manually the angular packages to 6.0.0
2. ng update rxjs
3. ng update angular/core
4. ng update angular/material
5. if ng update installs typescript 2.8.3 you have to install typescript version 2.7.2. angular compiler doesn;t work with 2.8.3
